Veteran-led · Veteran housing · Now raising Fund I

Bring them home.

Thousands of veterans already hold federal housing vouchers and still can't find a landlord who will say yes. Venture Collective Group buys and restores homes so they can use them, and we're building the movement of investors, owners, and partners to do it at scale.

The gap

The vouchers exist. The homes don't.

HUD-VASH pairs a housing voucher with VA case management. It works when a veteran can find a home that qualifies. Too often, they can't.

A veteran with a HUD-VASH voucher has rent support and a VA case manager. What they often don't have is an address. Landlords turn vouchers down, inspections stall, and older buildings fall short of HUD standards.

The result is federal housing dollars that go unspent while veterans wait in shelters, cars, and tents. We close that gap with private capital: buy the buildings, bring them up to standard, and say yes to the voucher.

Veteran homelessness has fallen by more than half since 2009. The last mile is the hardest, and it runs through housing supply.

How it works

Three moves. One closed loop.

Each step is built around the HUD-VASH program, so a veteran moves in with rent support and a VA case manager already in place.

1

We buy & restore

VCG acquires Class B/C multifamily properties, plus select duplexes and single-family homes, and completes value-add renovations to pass HUD Housing Quality Standards.

2

Veterans move in

Tenants are referred through VA medical centers, public housing authorities, and veteran service organizations, then lease up with their HUD-VASH voucher.

Rent support flows

The local housing authority pays its share of rent directly to the property each month, set against HUD Fair Market Rents that are reviewed every year.

Why we do this

Founded by a veteran. Built for veterans.

VCG started with a simple conviction: no one who served this country should have a voucher in hand and nowhere to use it. We bring real estate discipline to that problem, and we answer to the veterans who live in our buildings.
